The study of contemporary western epistemology began in the Gettier problem, at the same time, Epistemological skepticism is get more and more attention from the scholars of the theory of knowledge, thus counter epistemological skepticism has become an important part of the study of the theory of knowledge. Anthony Brueckner published The structure of the skeptical argument in 1994,it was opened the study of the structure of the skeptical argument which continues to today.After this, the contemporary scholars of the theory of knowledge expect by studying the structure of the skeptical argument to find out the possible path of solution the epistemological skepticism and then to refute the epistemological skepticism, and ultimately to achieve the goal of establish perfect knowledge define。In the process of collecting data,I found that the research works and papers about the structure of epistemological skepticism argument in the current domestic is fewer, but I think they are show the domestic research about this aspect. This article written basis on collected data that I read carefully. In this paper, I reviewed the Gettier problem carefully at first, and then sort out other contemporary epistemologists’ s responses to Gettier’s counterexamples, and explain the inherent relationship between Gettier problem and the contemporary epistemological skepticism.secondly,as the main body of this paper, I will carefully explain the two argument principle of epistemological skepticism : Epistemic Closure Principle and the Underdetermination Principle, and some ways of skepticism argumentsome based on the basis principles, in which I will add own understanding and opinions.In the third part,I roughly combing the three kinds possible path mainly to solve the epistemological skepticism, and I will try to comment on my own think the feasible way to refute the skepticism.
